Elon Musk has spoken out after a vehicle manufactured by his automotive company, Tesla, exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Suggesting a connection between the incident and the New Orleans attack, Musk threatened to sue media companies that claim the Cybertruck malfunctioned and “caught on fire.”
On New Year’s Day, a Tesla Cybertruck packed with fireworks blew up in front of the hotel, located near the Las Vegas Strip, injuring at least seven bystanders. The driver, Army soldier Matthew Livelsberger, fatally shot himself before the explosion.
